I recall looking at that COP number when I was researching around.

According to what I've found, the COP is 3.4 when you are running it full bore.
29,000 BTUh, burning 2,490 watts gives you a 3.4 COP.
But, after things have warmed up and the unit is just coasting along at, say,
4,400 BTU, only burning 290 watts, you get a COP of 4.4
Maybe it's good this thing is a tad over-sized.?.
We have added a bunch of insulation in the past year, and I'm really looking
forward to seeing if I can actually heat my home using 290 watts!! LOL!!
At least on the mild days..
